scope:

This is the general specification for aircraft engine lubricating oil coolers that provide oil temperature regulation for aircraft gas turbine engines using high temperature synthetic base lubricating oil, and aircraft piston engines, turbo propeller gear boxes, and helicopter transmission gear boxes using petroleum based oil.

Lubricating oil coolers (oil coolers) will be of the following types as specified in the acquisition document (see 6.2).

The types of oil coolers are as follows:

Type IA - Petroleum base lubricating oil cooler for aircraft piston engines and turbo propeller gear boxes. Type IB - Petroleum base lubricating oil cooler for helicopters transmission gear boxes. Type II - Synthetic base lubricating oil cooler for aircraft gas turbine engines.
